1 Month Left- You're being Evicted!

Dear Bean:
First we will start off with your eviction notice.
I am issuing 30 day notice for EVICTION. You will have 30 days in which you can either gather your belongings and promptly vacate the premises, or wait until the final day. After which, you will be physically removed from the property.
You are being evicted due to breech of contract and destruction of property. Expansions only to the FRONT of the house, within reasonable limits, were discussed. Not only have these limits been exceeded, but additions to the back of the house were also made!
Remodeling and gutting of the home was never approved, nor was changing the initial layout and base structure. And due to property damage, there are now leaks in both the upper AND lower levels of the home. On top of which, the landlord has received numerous complaints about nightly disturbances.
After 30 days from this day that you do not comply with the notice will result in immediate and forceful removal at my discretion.

Now all that being said, I would love it if you would comply, as I really do not want to have you physically removed which would result in yet more destruction of property.

Sunday I was super tired so I took a nap with Daddy and woke up with the worst pressure and cramping and I started having contractions. Nothing regular, but some were enough to make me double over and take my breath away. The cramping is what bothered me the most actually. The contractions subsided after I went to sleep (unless I just didn't feel them while sleeping) and I only had a few yesterday morning, but I did have some very uncomfortable cramping all day yesterday. Apparently the cramping and few contractions in the morning did something to you too. You were soo super wiggley! I felt you more yesterday than I ever have in one day. I don't think you stopped moving at all throughout the entire day!
I had my last 2 week appointment today and asked about the contractions and cramping. I was told the contractions are probably just more Braxton Hicks, but only stronger to prepare us for labor and the cramping could be a sign that I need to drink more water (which is not the case because I have been drinking my recommended gallon per day) or cramping sometimes is a sign of dilation and effacement. But he didn't check to see if I was dilated any, just did the Group B Strep culture (which was slightly unpleasant) and checked your heartrate. Today your heart rate was 138, which is the lowest its been for you, but the Dr didn't seem concerned at all since it was still within normal range. I asked if he thought you would be a big baby and he says he doesn't think you'll be less than 8 pounds, which I don't think so either. He did say that in the next 2 weeks he'll be able to give a much better guestimate as to how much he thinks you'll weigh when you're born. I also asked if he thought you'd stay in there all the way until August 20th. He said "you're guess is as good as mine." But he said that it could be anytime from now until my due date since they wouldn't stop you from coming if you decided you wanted out now. I don't think you'll decide you want to come this early, but hopefully earlier than the 20th. I don't know why I want you to come before the 20th, I guess I just want to say you came earlier than "expected." Although at this point with BOTH of your grandmothers telling me I won't "make it til the 20th" I am expecting you to come earlier. I should get these crazy thoughts out of my head because I know I'm only setting myself up for disappointment when the 20th rolls around and you're still perfectly content living in my uterus still.
Well it's time for me to leave work and go home to daddy. I'm trying to convince him that funnel cakes and chocolate peanut butter swirl ice cream is a fabulous choice for dinner. We'll see.
I love you Bean. I'm ready for you to come out, so hurry it up! 10 more days and you're considered full term and should be good to go, so anytime after that would be perfect.
Love,
Mommy
